recipe: fast fudge

When I was little, every couple of years, my mother and her sisters would get together just before Christmas and make Eight Plate Fudge. Eight Plate Fudge was a family recipe that had belonged to my mother’s mother’s mother. And, you guessed it, requires eight plates. It also require forearms like Popeye’s and a few helpers to make it through the really difficult hours when you’re sure the fudge will never be effing finished. While I have fond memories of that melt-in-your-mouth chocolatey goodness that resulted from all that work, my Fudge-in-a-Hurry is thrown together in minutes and while it ain’t quite as good, chocolate and sugar are never bad.
